Weathering the Storms of Life

“But it is a sort of April-weather life that we lead in this world. A little sunshine is generally the prelude to a storm.." ― William Cowper

I read this and it resonated with me. How we all tend to live a life like that and we really don't need to. We are actually raised to live like that; a social conditioning that limits us. And most of us are not even aware we have a choice. We can in fact decide not to fall victim to our weather bound tendencies that act like the rollercoaster of the season. How might we do that, you may ask?

Those sunny days we are on a high, feeling good and bringing good things to us with our higher frequencies. Then something happens and we let in the negative vibrations and things begin to crumble and the next thing we know we are dealing with turbulent storms. It's exhausting, really.

How do we live above this rollercoaster? It has to do with our vibrational frequencies and the fact that like attracts like. Vibrate on a high positive frequency and the world is a beautiful, sunny place. And you will attract those wonderful vibrations to you. Things will be sweet. But vibrate on a low negative frequency and the world becomes stormy. You will attract the gloom and doom. And believe it or not this goes deeper that having a good or bad day, it goes deep within your cells, your make up... your health.

I always had this thought that it was the negativity in your life that would eat you alive. I figured my Dad kept all his crap to himself and didn't deal with the painful emotions that were deep in him. Those things ate him alive. He died of cancer at the age of forty-four.

My Grandmother, his mother, also had cancer at the same time, but she maintained her faith and stayed more positive. She conquered her cancer and it was not until Alzheimer's tackled her that she lost her faith and her way. She had weathered a lot of storms and always came out on top... until then.

Then I got my hands on Excuse Me, Your Life Is Waiting by Lynn Grabhorn. Reading her thoughts and ideas made those ideas I had make sense. Though instead of being eaten alive, he was probably attracting more negativity to himself.

We are magnetically charged meat suites. We attract what we put out there much like a tuning fork. We vibrate on a frequency that matches with others. Grabhorn's book does an amazing job of explaining why we have war and rape and all those nasty things in our world. It's not God's doing, its ours. We attract it and it is magnified by the social vibrational forces around us.

And yes, we can learn to change our frequencies to attract positive things by feeling good. This doesn't mean burying our head in the sand and avoiding things. It means finding something that makes us feel good, increasing our positive higher vibrational frequencies and then taking the steps we need to take from a calm place. It is amazing how the answers will come if you calm down and listen.

Acting from a place of calm intention is so much better than rushing in to FIX something with a 'hi ho silver' attitude - the one we have been raised to believe is the way to deal with issues.

Taking time to shut up and listen to our small wee voice inside us after we take a moment to think about something that makes us feel good goes a long way to making things better... and avoiding those April storms.

It sounds simple. It is challenging to do, but so worth it in the long run.

I challenge you to read Grabhorn's book and see for yourself. It can make the world a better place.
